This restores the products sliders to their default state. It also acts as a reset, in which it will reset the values of the product to "factory state". This is very useful if you are dragging out multiple units as if you have changed any values, the newly dragged out unit will still only have the factory default settings. If you drag out two units pressing this Restore button will make sure that both units are displaying the same settings. This will not overwrite any adjustments made to any of the preset notecards.

On pressing this button will allow the product to notify in chat confirmations of button presses. This is especially useful so the owner or admin can know what settings have been changed when they click any of the buttons. The default setting is off.

On clicking this button, the will check the land settings to make sure that the can rez its light beams.

If the was set up correctly you should get the following message in chat:

TIS : Rez Check passed - Beams can be created here.

If you receive this message you can successfully Rez Beams.

If the was rezzed on land that is group owned, but the group cannot create objects, you will see a message like this:

WARNING: Unable to create Beams. Land is group owned, but members of the group cannot create objects. Please allow group members to Build in the About Land dialogue.

If the was rezzed on land that is group owned but only the owner of the display can rez under that group not the group itself. You will get a message like this:

WARNING: Unable to create Beams. Unable to rez lights when owner is offline. Please set (not deed) this to the group that owns the land.

If the was rezzed on land that is set to a group but the has not been rezzed under that group, you will get a message like this:

WARNING: Unable to create Beams. Please set (not deed) the to the group the land is set to.

If the was rezzed on land that only the owner of the parcel or sim can rez, you will see a message like this:

WARNING: Unable to create Beams. Land is individually owned, and only the land owner's objects are allowed to rez. Please talk to the land owner to get permission to rez here.

If the cannot decipher what is causing it to fail then you will see this message:

WARNING: Unable to create Beams. Unable to determine rez fail reason - Please contact TIS Support

After performing a rez check and having the confirming the Rez Check has passed, you will need to click the Rez Beams button. This will rez all the light beams onto the rig itself and also any lasers if you have them in your set up. Your is now ready for use!

Pressing this button will delete the light beams. This is especially useful if your beams have become another victim of SL's server issues. Most all issues can be resolved by deleting the beams then re rezzing them again.

On pressing this button the will state in chat to you:

TIS : Preparing Notecards - Please wait.
TIS : A folder called 'TIS Notecard Backup date' containing backup notecards has been delivered to your inventory.

The will then send you the settings notecards stored inside the machine itself. The settings notecards will be contained in a folder in your inventory.

This is especially useful if you are having an issue with programming a light display and you have run into trouble, you can back up your notecard presets and send them through to the support team. You might even get asked to send these through if the support team think it will help resolve any problems.

On pressing this button, this will direct you to the website where you can create your own presets.

Using the Parameters guide, you can select the different commands and add them to a notecard to use in your system.

The when viewing the iControl Professional will show only 10 presets. The can actually store any number of presets. We felt giving users 10 presets to view on the iControl was more than enough, but if you are going to be creating a lot more then this button on the Configuration dropdown is where you can view all presets loaded in your .

When you click the Preset button a dropdown will appear and listed will be all the Preset notecards loaded in your rig. You only need to click a number corresponding to your preset to start that preset playing. The play all button will run through all presets.

To have more than one unit out, all you need to do is drag another from your inventory to the ground in world. If you require both units to be controlled with the same settings etc., then you need not do anything further with either unit, just use channel 0, which is the default channel number, on your controller to start, stop and adjust the other settings as usual.

Once you have placed the number of units you wish to have out you will then need to Restore the units, by going to the Configuration via the iControl Professional. This will reset the values to factory state. This is very useful if you are dragging out multiple units as if you have changed the colour to multi colour the newly dragged out unit will still only have the factory default settings. If you drag out two units pressing this Restore button will make sure that both units are displaying the same settings.

If you have more than one unit rezzed on the same sim and set to the same channel, one will become the master. This master will perform all the script work to calculate colours/effects and then send the result to the other unit's, enabling all of them to synchronize their displays. As a result the Settings for the master will be used for all unit's. The master will be chosen at random so you should ensure that this notecard is duplicated in all your unit's set to the same channel in order to achieve a consistent effect.

If you wish to have multiple units customized in different ways on the same sim, this can be done easily by setting one of your units to have a different channel to your first unit. To do this you will need to set the channel number for each additional unit.

To do this simply amend the description field of one the units as follows:

• Right click and select edit on one of the units.
• In the general tab of the edit dialogue box locate the description field this will already have text in there like this:

  Channel : 0

• Set the new channel by editing this text so for example

  Channel : 3

  would set the channel to be 3.
• If you are using Firestorm viewer go to the Content tab of the edit dialogue box and click the "Reset Scripts" button. If you are using the Second Life Viewer, you will need to go to the client tool bar (at the top of your screen) and click Build --> Scripts and then select "Reset Scripts". Any other viewer, you may need to refer to the viewers knowledge-base.
• On clicking Reset Scripts a dialogue box may pop up if you have never done this before asking you whether you wish to modify scripts in selected object - Just click yes - if no box asking that pops up, then the Reset Progress box will only appear and start going through each script in the unit and set them to running as in this example:

• When the dialogue box states done, press close.
• The unit that you changed will run through its setup.

You can now go to your main Control Channel page and in the Channel Selection panel select the new channel you set to now control the unit on that channel.

Do the above for any units that you wish to have on any other channel. You have in total 20 channels that you can use if you so wish.

We have created some simple presets that may be of use in your venue. We think we have covered the most common of venue styles!

If you wish to make any changes to the in built Presets then double click the notecard in the . This will open the notecard to present you with all the commands pertaining to the specific light display.

There is ONE parameter line per command.

Please see the Parameters section to see how each command affects the look of the lights.

Note: Leaving any parameter blank will result in a random value being chosen for that parameter. Colour parameters can accept multiple values similar to the COLORS: command.

If you wish to create any further presets, just create another notecard in your inventory, name it to identify what it refers to and drag the notecard into your rig contents. We recommend naming your notecards like this:

presetnumber name

Such as: 07 MyShow

To amend any of the presets or create your own light display's, double click the specific notecard to open it. Using the Parameters as a guide, add lines into the notecard specifying what parts of the light rig to change and how they should look. You can see examples of the settings in the existing preset notecards. The following additional functions are available to fine tune controlling your display.

COLORS:[<R,G,B><R,G,B><R,G,B> etc. |DEFAULT]
Sets the default colours (those used when colours are not specified for a command) from that point on in the display. You can set certain colours for the Beams, Lasers and Wash lights independently.

SLEEP:BAR|BEAT|TIME:VALUE
This specifies how long to pause between each command. It is IMPORTANT that you add a sleep between commands if you do not wish them to be produced simultaneously - there is no automatic pause to let the previous command finish.

BPM:[BEATS PER MINUTE|HALF|NORMAL|DOUBLE]:[TIME SIGNATURE]
This command sets the beats per minute, time signature and beat multiplier for the currently running display. It is included so you can create displays to match a particular piece of music without having to manually set these values each time.

LOOP START
This specifies the start of a loop.

LOOP:NUM
Specifies the number of times to repeat each command encountered since LOOP START. Note: the number specifies the additional number of times to run the commands, hence LOOP:1 will play the enclosed commands twice, once for the first run and then once for the loop. Loops can be nested but care should be taken to ensure each LOOP START has a corresponding LOOP:num command.

PRESET:[Exact name of preset notecard]
This command allows you to follow on to another preset that is contained in the .

Contained in your package is another box called TIS Aurora System Components. This holds all the components separately. Drag this box to the ground where it will automatically unpack and give you a folder containing all the components. Contained in this box you will find:

TIS

This is the root prim that all components are required to be linked to. This object is transparent so to view this press ctrl + alt + T to set your SL client to see transparent objects

B1

This is the Beam component.

W1

This is the Wash component.

L1

This is the Laser component.

S1

This is the Spot component.

Your Aurora System is made up of modular components. You can change the positions and number of the Beams, Lasers, Wash, and Spot lights to suit your setup.

Each setup must include the two invisible components, the Aurora System Slave and the root prim TIS Aurora System. These are already linked together correctly, so this can just be rezzed in world.

A maximum of 30 of each type of light is supported by one rig. Each component must be linked to the main Aurora System prim, in such a way that it is a child prim (not the root [main] prim). This object is transparent so to view this press ctrl + alt + T to set your SL client to see transparent objects.

Each light on the system must also have a unique identifier. This is a two [or three] character code that is set by the object's Name. The first character signifies the type of light, the second [and third] character uniquely identify that light to the system.

For example:

All Lasers have the first character 'L', followed by the number of the Laser. In the standard setup that came in your product box, there are four lasers, named L1, L2, L3, and L4 respectively.

To add another laser, you would rez it, change it's name to 'L5', then link it as a child to the main system.

The light character codes are straightforward as follows:

Beams:B1 to B30
Lasers:L1 to L30
Spots:S1 to S30
Washes:W1 to W30

To prevent lights malfunctioning, it is important that each light is uniquely named, and that no numbers in the sequence are skipped. The system will advise you if this is the case.

Beams

Beams have an additional function coded into their description field. This enables them to perform opposing fan-like motions - so if beam 1 moves to the left, beam 2 moves to the right by the same amount. This function is coded into the description of the Beam base, and is a number between 1 and -1.

A value of 1 will cause the beam to the rotate the full specified amount. A value of -1 will cause a rotation of the full amount, but in the opposite direction.

Values between 1 and 0, and 0 and -1, will cause the beam to rotate a fraction of the specified amount, in either the positive or negative direction. This is useful for creating fan effects with the beams.

In the standard setup, the 8 beams are set to: 1, 0.6, 0.3, 0.1, -0.1, -0.3, -0.6, -1 meaning when OPPOSITE is chosen for the beams DIRECTION parameter in a preset notecard, the beams produce a fan effect for any given rotation.

Beams can be placed inverted on the floor if required.

To start a new custom light set up first rez out the TIS in world. This object is transparent so to view this press ctrl + alt + T to set your SL client to see transparent objects. Press ctrl + alt + T again to turn it off when finished.

Next drag out any combination of lights (only allowed up to 30 of each, so please bear this in mind).

Once you have finished placing out your lighting combination, you will need to name the lights. To do this name each light as follows:

Beams: B1 to B30
Lasers: L1 to L30
Spots: S1 to S30
Washes: W1 to W30

So in our example above, we have 8 beams, I will name them B1 - B8. Right click and select edit each beam, then in the name field on the General tab type in turn on each beam, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7, B8. We also have 4 Lasers so I will name them L1,L2,L3,L4. Two Spot lights, so they will be S1,S2. One Wash light, so that will be W1. You can also change the Beams description using the information provided in the About the Components section.

Rename all your Wash lights, Spot lights, and Lasers like this. It is important that each light is uniquely named, and that no numbers in the sequence are skipped.

After you have renamed the lights in sequence, you will need to link all lights to the TIS . Press ctrl + alt + T to set your SL client to see transparent objects and then select all lights first (this is very important) by clicking one light, then hold Shift down and select the others, then the TIS last. Then click the Link button on the edit dialog box to link all parts to the root prim (TIS ).

You can now use the iControl to Rez beams and start a preset.

Have fun creating!
